A Rose 377


    “Alice!”


    Hearing the voice behind her, Alice immediately turned. When she saw it was Victoria, a sh of


    disdain crossed her eyes.


    The Olson family had long since fallen from grace, and Victoria had been in poor health. If it hadn’t


    been for the Quinn family’s support over the years, she would have been reduced to living on the


    streets.


    Thinking this, Alice nheless disyed a warm smile on her face. “Victoria, long time no see!


    What are you doing at Jubilife University?”


    Victoria’s clear, doe–like eyes curved as she smiled. “Wilson arranged for me toe here.”


    At the mention of Wilson’s name, Alice’s eyes lit up. Her attitude toward Victoria became even more


    enthusiastic. “Oh, I see. Victoria, Mr. Wilson takes such good care of you!”


    The Quinns had been looking out for Victoria. If she stayed on good terms with her, she wouldn’t


    have to worry about not seeing Wilson!


    If Alicia had the chance to meet Wilson, she was sure that with her excellence, she could catch his


    eye.


    “Victoria, we haven’t seen each other in so long. Can I visit you at your ce?”


    “Of course!” Victoria agreed immediately, a gentle smile on her face. “When we were little, no one


    else would y with me. Only you were willing to y with me, Alice. You were my first friend!”


    Mission aplished. Alice’s smile grew as she continued to probe. “By the way, Victoria, where


    are you staying now? Are you living with Mr. Wilson?”


    “No.” Victoria shook her head lightly. “Wilson arranged for me to stay at Haven Residence. He’s


    very busy, and I rarely get to see him.”


    As soon as Alice heard this, her initial warmth toward her diminished. The look of contempt in her


    eyes became even more pronounced.


    “Oh, I see! I just remembered I have something to doter. Victoria, I’ll visit your ce next time!”


    Alicia thought, “She rarely gets to see Wilson. So that means she’s not that important to him either!


    Hanging out with someone from a declining family will only lower my status!”


    “Alright.” Victoria lowered her eyes in disappointment, then smiled. “Alice, you’re wee to visit


    next time.”


    “Of course! I’ll definitely be there next time!” Alice stered a smile and agreed, but she couldn’t


    have cared less. Unless Wilson would be there, she wouldn’t bother going!


    Standing behind Victoria, Lionel saw through Alice’s thoughts. He cast a disdainful nce at her


    with a cold snort.


    Wilson would never go for someone as shallow and superficial as her. Only someone as pure and


    kind as Victoria could ever be worthy of Wilson!

    In the car, Yvette received a message from Sean and Ashton.


    “Yvie, me and Ashton have something to take care of. The driver will pick you up and take you


    home.”


    “Yvie, don’t tell Jacob about this! If Jacob asks, just say we picked you up!”


    2/2


    Yvette replied with a simple “okay” and put her phone away.


    Wilson’s fingersced with Yvette’s, his lips curving into a charming, sensual smile. Jasper had


    done well; maybe he should consider increasing his allowance.


    His useless younger brother had finally proven to be of some value.


    “Was this your doing?” With a sultry lift of her fox–like eyes, Yvette fixed her gaze upon him.


    “Yes.”


    Wilson admitted openly, toying with Yvette’s delicate fingers. He smiled, his deep, maic voice


    impossible to resist.
